Annual Report 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FOREWORD In 2019, Limerick Youth Service (LYS) delivered on a broad range of innovative and impactful projects and programmes engaging large numbers of young people from across Limerick City & County. This report will outline the services and supports provided by LYS in meeting the aims and objectives of our Strategic Plan 2017-2021. Some key developments in 2019 included: Jim Daly, Minister of State at the Department of Health, visited LYS and presented the Investing in Children award and launched the BE WELL What is Counselling? video; The Ability Programme continued to empower and facilitate young people with disabilities to develop personally, economically and socially; Stand Up was a powerful performance by young people from LYS’ Diversity and Youth Group that wowed a packed auditorium at the Belltable Arts Centre. Stand Up gave an insight into growing up in Ireland through the eyes of young people from migrant communities; As part of YELL Yhdessä’ LYS hosted and visited a Finnish group from the city of Kuopio, as part of an international youth exchange; LYS re-tendered for the Comhairle contract in October 2019 and was successful; Young People attending LYS’ Community Training Centre (CTC) have continued to attain accredited qualifications and we have also enhanced our work experience opportunities and employability initiatives for young people; We have worked with over 1000 young people across 21 clubs including groups of young people with disabilities and ethnic minorities; Research has been completed on the needs of rural young people and will be launched and published in early 2020. On the 11th of March 2020 the world in which we operate changed fundamentally, the World Health Organisation officially declared COVID-19 as an international pandemic. LYS have responded to this unprecedented situation by continuing to deliver supports and services to young people despite the challenges of restricted movement. We have focused on the use of digital platforms where appropriate and on continuing to provide crises support to young people where needed. We are liaising with all funders and securing agreements in relation to funding requirements during the Covid 19 pandemic, implementing a service response plan including working from home arrangements, crises service delivery, risk assessments, return to work protocols and staff training. What is more difficult to assess is the impact of Covid-19 on global and national economies and the consequences of this unprecedented event on funding for youth work in Ireland post – 2020. The mental and physical health challenges facing young people within the current environment are growing and demand for our services in the area of adolescent mental health are outstripping our capacity to respond. Overall funding for youth work stands at 17.4% below 2008 levels, not taking inflation into account. These are the challenges we are facing and the commitment and passion of our Board and staff in facing this difficult period will be essential in ensuring that we can meet our objectives and so live our mission, which is to connect with young people and support them to reach their full potential.

Seeing Georgian Limerick, a beautiful photographic exhibition of Georgian Limerick celebrates the City while Presence 08 celebrates the wealth of Limerick’s artistic talent. _____________________________________________________________________ 1. Exhibition Opening: Seeing Georgian Limerick Kieran CLANCY Sean LYNCH Eamonn O’MAHONY Deirdre POWER 27th Nov – 4th Jan 2009 Limerick City Gallery of Art in association with Limerick Chapter of the Irish Georgian Society is delighted to announce Seeing Georgian Limerick, a jointly commissioned exhibition to commemorate 50 years of the Irish Georgian Society. Four artists Kieran Clancy, Sean Lynch, Eamonn O’Mahony, Deirdre Power have been invited to photograph Georgian Limerick. The historic and commercial centre of Limerick, the Georgian new town is extremely familiar, although many of the buildings are underused and have been allowed to decay. The exhibition celebrates the architectural character and the historic importance of the townscape, which are often not fully recognized. To ask the four artists to photograph what they see in Georgian Limerick was an invitation to reveal what has been hidden by familiarity and neglect; architectural coherence, moments of monumentality. Images can show what is normally unseen; the richness of the interior decoration, the life of the lanes. Taken from oblique perspectives the photographs have the potential to uncover an unfamiliar Georgian Limerick. With the power of photography to focus attention and even to transform the ordinary and taken-for-granted it is hoped that the exhibition will help to define the character and value of Georgian Limerick.

Though difficult at times to live by, this simple but powerful idea in action will always deliver results. On a daily basis, the enormous task with the provision of vital city and community services, challenges us to remain mindful in our understanding of the basic principals that make a successful city. At the very core of this idea is the realisation that our vision and plans are most effective when they spring from the realisation that cities evolve organically and from within. As always our Local Government leadership and objectives of quality social and economic community support builds most effectively on a solid foundation of community strength and harmony.

Photographer: Michael Brown © The Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon, 2004 ISBN 1-904291-08-2 Arts in Schools, 2004 For over 30 years, the Arts Council/an Chomhairle Ealaíon has supported the arts within formal education – both directly, through schemes and residencies and, indirectly, through funding the education and outreach programmes of arts organisations. New and revised curricula in primary and second-level schools have strengthened the place of the arts in education. As a result, an increasing number of arts organisations are becoming involved in education programmes. The Arts Council encourages and supports collaboration between arts organisations, artists and schools as a means of enriching young people’s artistic and aesthetic education. We also value the positive contribution this collaboration makes to the work of the artist and the teacher. To support and promote collaborations between artists, arts organisations and schools, the Arts Council published, last year, a directory of organisations running arts-in-schools programmes, Supporting Arts in Education. This addressed the information gap between the arts and education communities regarding the work in schools of arts organisations. The directory was popular with artists, educators and administrators, who use it as a practical resource in setting up new projects and relationships. To maintain the momentum and to keep the information up-to-date, we have again compiled this directory for 2004. Arts in Schools, 2004 lists an additional 40 arts organisations working in schools, reflecting both the increase in arts-in-schools activity and its changing nature.
